Water Gardening: Any suggestions?, 0 by victorgardener

Hi All,

I have a problem with my waterfall that I want to address. The water comes out of the 'Biofalls' and goes down two wide, flat-ish rocks and into the pond. My problem is that way too much water goes to the sides of these two rocks and disappears - presumably making it into the pond eventually. In any event I am sure it's not 'leaking' since I would have one major level problem (I have a minor one that I've yet to track down).

I want more of the water to make it to the pond for two primary reasons. I want to hear the soothing sound more and I want to provide more oxygen for the koi. I have tried positioning stones to direct the water toward the center with only minor success. The problem is that most of the water still goes right under these rocks, since the surfaces are not really flat. Any suggestions??? I was thinking about some clear silicone as a bead down either side of the flat rocks with some larger stones pressed into the bead. I would have to turn off the pump for a while and dry off the rocks. Don't want to leave the pump off too long with the koi. ANy other ideas? Thank you.
